Movie description
Director Joe Wright (ATONEMENT, PRIDE & PREJUDICE) brings the true story of an unlikely friendship to life in THE SOLOIST. An award-winning columnist with the Los Angeles Times, Steve Lopez (Robert Downey Jr.) ultimately becomes an advocate for L.A.’s homeless population when he meets Nathaniel Ayers (Jamie Foxx), a talented musician who's been playing a two-stringed violin while living on the streets and battling mental illness. Struck by Ayers’s passion for music, Lopez begins to write a series of columns about his new acquaintance while attempting to get him off the streets and playing music again. Amidst numerous achievements and setbacks, Lopez and Ayers develop a friendship based on mutual respect despite their many differences, and Lopez rediscovers his humanity. While the focus of the film is the relationship that develops between the two men, the film also tackles the harsh realities of homelessness and the plight of the mentally ill. Lending authenticity to the story, a number of L.A.’s homeless population were cast as extras in the film. An additional subplot is the quandary that daily newspapers face as the world and the news increasingly go electronic, and popular news becomes more sensationalistic. Foxx is both heartbreaking and life-affirming as Ayers, whose undiagnosed schizophrenia drove him away from Juilliard as a young man, and whose fierce independence keeps him on the streets. Downey Jr. turns in a nuanced performance as Lopez, who finally realizes that while he may not be able to save Ayers, he can accept him as he is. Catherine Keener, Lisa Gay Hamilton, and Tom Hollander appear in supporting roles.

Editorial reviews
"Robert Downey Jr. and Jamie Foxx are on fire in the lead roles: They're both charismatic as hell without sacrificing any of the emotional honesty necessary for you to believe that these movie stars are a scruffy reporter and mentally ill musician."
Hollywood Reporter - Kirk Honeycutt (04/16/2009)

3 stars out of 4 -- "The cello's evocative, often melancholy sound envelops THE SOLOIST, highlighting the poignant appeal of this heartfelt film."
USA Today - Claudia Puig (04/24/2009)

"[I]ts commitment to the material feels honest, nowhere more so than in Mr. Downey's darkly shaded, nuanced performance, one that deepens this film with its insistence on the fundamental mysteries of human character."
New York Times - Manohla Dargis (04/24/2009)

"Mr. Wright and his colleagues have made a movie with a spaciousness of its own, a brave willingness to explore such mysteries of the mind and heart as the torture that madness can inflict, and the rapture that music can confer."
Wall Street Journal  (04/24/2009)

"It's impossible not to be moved by THE SOLOIST, starring Robert Downey Jr. and Jamie Foxx....The film is suffused with heartbreak and humanism, as it takes one man's grim story -- early promise, bright future, mental breakdown, despair -- and turns it into a spiritual meditation on friendship."
Washington Post  (04/24/2009)

Shipping discounts are not available for multiple purchases. Paypal is the only form of payment that I will accept.

Here are the terms:

  • Buyer pays $3.00 for shipping to any US address. Expedited shipping is available for $6.00 - However, most CD's and DVD's will ship via first class mail, so you don't need to choose expedited as it won't get there any faster! If you are purchasing a DVD box set, or a VHS, you may want to use that option. Expedited shipping does not mean priority mail shipping, but I do try to process expedited orders and ship by the next business day.
  • I do welcome international orders. CD's and DVD's are $7.00, and VHS videos are 10.00.
  • Paypal Only - I am not set up for multiple item shipping discounts.
  • All orders are shipped via insured mail with DSI - That is automatically included in the price. Order without worries, your item is insured. All domestic orders are also shipped with Delivery Confirmation.
  • All movies, video games, and cd's are 100% satisfaction guaranteed.
  • All Items (unless noted) are formatted for the US and Canada - Region 1 for the DVD's, and NTSC for the VHS tapes.
  • Unless Noted, you are bidding on a used item. Boxes can show wear, please contact us if you have any specific questions.
  • The UPC and/or Edition may not be an exact match to the ebay database. The title is the same. This is ESPECIALLY true for CD's - Often times the catalog says remastered edition, and often times it is not. You aren't likely to find a rare version for $2, so if you have any questions, please ask before purchasing. I will accept returns but I will not pay for shipping if the problem is a different edition than listed.
  • Thank you for browsing my listings, and thanks for your purchases. They are appreciated.
